Spirit of innovation : powering your new business initiatives
At Smurfit Kappa Paper Sack, innovation is at the heart of our strategy. We systematically focus on anticipating market needs and apply our expertise to help you to continuously improve your paper sack range.
Innovation covers every step in the chain : production tools, product performance and environmental protection are improved by :
- the wood selection process : Central Forestal (in Iurreta, Spain) is in charge of forestry management with a priority on sustainable development.
- optimisation of all criteria that ensure maximum security for the end customer.
- resistance and stretch at break-point, porosity, air-permeability, surface features (anti-slip) for kraft paper (Smurfit Kappa Nervion in Iurreta, Spain)
- glue, tamper-proofing, suitability for mechanical filling, grease barriers, hygiene and food contact, closing systems, printability, product size, coating, lamination with Krystal, barrier films, product traceability, etc. for paper sacks.
We work on designing new products for your current packaging developments by :
- optimising paper composition,
- a better understanding of transformation technology
- keeping pace with developments in packaging mechanisation and conditioning requirements
- developing measuring systems to solve specific problems
- analysing food contact and environmental factors
- improving printability without damaging the paper's resistance
- adapting to modern printing technologies (digital printing)
- researching into intelligent active packaging systems (such as RFID - Radio Frequency Identification)
